Lakeba Group in the top 10% of Asia-Pacific high growth companies

Lakeba ranks second amongst Australian technology companies on the Financial Times‘ Asia Pacific 500 High Growth Companies index. Qualifying in the top 10% of all companies and sectors ranked across Asia Pacific.  

The Financial Times developed the ranking in partnership with Statista. It details the 500 companies in the Asia Pacific that have achieved the highest compound annual growth rate in revenues between 2015 and 2018. Lakeba Group placed 36 overall.  

Giuseppe Porcelli, CEO at Lakeba Group, believes the ranking, while a significant milestone, is only the beginning.  

He states on his LinkedIn: “This is a marker on our road to achieving something big. Our next phase starts today. With plenty more to come, as we optimise for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”  

Porcelli goes on to say: “When we founded Lakeba in Manly six years ago, we knew we were going to surprise people with our ability to conceive, create and commercialise technologies. This recognition, all the way from the UK by the world’s most respected financial newspaper, is testament to our ability to do just that. Internationally.” 

Technology was the most prominent sector in the ranking, accounting for almost a quarter of companies.   

“World events, such as COVID-19, are catalysts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. A change that sees the collision of our physical, digital and biological worlds,” says Porcelli.  

Placement in the FT Ranking joins a list of growing accolades for the company. Lakeba Group is also recognised by the AFR as a Most Innovative Company, as well as winning the Which-50 Digital Innovation award.

“What has set Lakeba apart is the diversity of fintech innovation. What this has enabled us to do is identify where the next big opportunities lie. We’re about to make some significant announcements,” says Porcelli.
